  1. The top 10 apps a closed iPhone will be missing on Inside the iPhone — 3G, ARM, OS X, 3rd Partyware · · Score: 1

    Here's a list of the must have smartphone apps that at this point the iPhone is missing.

  2. New? on Unique and Productive or Just More Eye-Candy? · · Score: 1

    Am I missing something? Maybe I'm mistaken, but it appears it be the same as Apple's Aperture Lightbox, Adobe's Lightbox or the new iview media 3 lightbox.

    Lets sue them for making me have to buy a new DVD player

  6. where's this end? on iTunes User Sues Apple Over Lock-In · · Score: 1
    So we should sue Gillette because they "forced" me to buy a Mach3 to use the Mach3 blades.

    How about suing the company that makes those coffee machines that take custom coffee cartridges. Surely they're "making" me buy their machines to drink their coffee.

    The ipod plays other music formats (mpe, wav, aiff). Songs purcahsed at the itunes music store can be burned to a disc to be played on any cd player. You're not locked in -- unless you expand the suit to sue home entertainment companies because you "had" to buy a cd player to play the cds you've burned.

    Buy a rio and sign up for the Real store, or napster, or walmart, or any other music store. No one forced him to buy an ipod to listen to music.

    I should sue Real/Napster/Microsoft for making a DRM system that doesn't work on a Mac and forced me to buy a Windows box.

  7. Re:see konfabulator on Jobs Previews Displays, Tiger at WWDC · · Score: 1

  9. too much information on Evan Williams Posts Official Google Blog · · Score: 5, Funny

    "What Larry had for breakfast. What Sergey thinks of that Hellboy movie. Which Dawson's Creek character reminds us most of Eric."

    So much for the IPO quiet period.

  10. Camera Phone image tests on Camera Phone Tips · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Here's a link to some basic tests of the color quality of popular cameraphones. As you can see- most of them suck

  11. Cool Can on GPS Cell Phone in Soda Can Form · · Score: 1

    With my luck (and the amount I drink) this can will sit undiscovered - in a case - in my fridge for months. The electronics better be able to handle some low temperatures for long periods of time.

    Ahem, brother.

  13. Re:Apple's DRM on BusinessWeek on Opening Apple's iTunes DRM · · Score: 1

    this can be easily fixed. contact apple and they'll de-authorize all computers on the account.

    from what i understand- you can get a $400 hitachi microdrive out of a $249 iPod mini. Maybe users are buying it to take the drive like they do with the the muvo. that would

  20. macs in the desert on US Army Signs $471,000,000 Deal for Microsoft Software · · Score: 1
    The problem with computers in the Army is they are bought by the gross and not necessarily purchased to accomplish certain functions. The Army doles out laptops in the same way we dole out boots, tents or any other class of supply.

    Army's Apple Shines in the Desert

  23. rumors on Apple to Announce the Power Mac G5 at WWDC? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    there's been a rush of rumors in the last few weeks- and most have them have been fakes (like PAL).

  24. DMCA on iTunes Internet Sharing Restored With Third-Party App · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Just a question... Wouldn't this be considered a violation of the DMCA? Essentially this app is circumventing the DRM system that Apple has choosen for iTunes.
